one of the saddest things about video games using generative AI for bulk environmental decals and posters and stuff is they’re such cool opportunities to expand lore and sneak in jokes and leaving a computer to spit out generic malformed gibberish just smacks of not giving a shit

Most journalists can't do this. Also: This kills the most important journalism of all, local journalism. Democracy can't survive without local journalism.
As more journalists are driven out of their jobs, I keep hearing this drumbeat of "it's ok -- they can start their own newsletter or publication." Some can. But becoming your own business is a huge job, and will eliminate many talented reporters from the public sphere. Here's why. (1/5)

I know this is about LLMs and how they suck (which they do), but this is also further evidence of the necessity of hands-on learning in education and of making homework less of a focus in schools in favor of hands-on learning and in-class discussions as the primary vehicle for teaching.

companies listening to what people say they want instead of making art and just giving them something has been ruinous for games, movies and more for the last 10-15 years
I once worked on a visual novel game where all the surveys and focus groups said that nobody wanted romance, they only wanted mystery and sci-fi.

Then 75+% of clicks in-game went to stories with explicit romantic or sexy themes.

'These kids do not care about romance': Game devs want to know what today's teens want, and surveys say sex and romance isn't it
Young people want stories about friendship more than romance, say researchers and industry execs.

this is too true. i hacked the system early
I love all my friends saying things like, “I wish I could make a career off being petty and making diss tracks” after the halftime show, and I’m out here like, “Have you considered academia?”

How do I stop the 30-50 feral dames that run into my tourney within 3-5 mins while my knights joust
In 1363 a medieval monk named Henry Knighton wrote about a common problem: "wherever and wherever [jousting] tournaments are held, a troupe of ladies would turn up dressed in a variety of male clothing and mounted on chargers, sometimes 40 or 50 of them". I ask you, where is the Netflix series?

Alright I need to follow all the people here that I follow on [HellSite] because I'm actually sick of all the bots there. I can't even see real comments anymore on posts there and half my feed is big accounts I don't even follow 😭
